Sleep Regression (Noun) Several points in an infant's early development, usually around 4, 8, and 18 months of age, in which the child develops sleeping difficulties, wakes frequently and sleeps fitfully, often in erratic spurts.
Welcome to our world. Thomas is mastering all kinds of new skills. He is crawling like crazy and his newest game is to crawl as fast as he can to something dangerous or something we don't want him to play with....all the while giggling! It's funny, but not something we want to encourage (but it's really cute because he's sooooo funny). He's not as cute in the middle of the night or when he won't go to bed, however. For the last several nights he's having a really hard time going to bed. In fact, for the last two nights we've had to go in after he went to bed because he was hysterical. Both times he had dirty diapers. Last night, well, it was actually this morning, we spent from 3:20-5:05 tag teaming him to change a dirty diaper and get him back to sleep. But did he sleep later? NO - playtime began at 6:50 this morning! The next post may be advertising the online auction of a really cute 9 month old.
